large bundles OF wood and shows him how to

Te Our Readers.

We cannot too strongly urge upon our Road
ers the necessity of subscribing for a family
weekly newspaper of the first class-sucil for
instance as the Independent OF New York.
Were we obliged to select one publication
for habitual reading, to the exclusion of all
others, we should unheistatingly choose the
Independent. 1t is a newspaper, magazine
ond review all in one. It'll q religious, liter
airy, educational. story, art. science, agricul.
tural. financial and political paper com.
bined No matter what a persons religion,
politics or profession may be, no matter
what the age. sex, employment or condition
may be, the Independent may prove help,
an instructor, an educator. II has 80 folio
pages ann q departments. Our readers can
do 70 less than send a postal card for free
speciman copy. or for thirty cents the paper
will be sent month, enabling one to judge
of It's merits more critically. Its yearly SUBJ
scription price is So or two years for IS.
Those who desire to subscribe for the
American Agricalturalist as we'll as the In
dependent cannot make q better bargain
than by accepting the Independents offer TO
send both papers for one year for the sum of
1915. Each subscriber will thus save seven.

FARMERS, INSTITUTE.

The council of the village of Sank

the value Of the Farmers Institute by
voluntarily assuming the expenses con
nected with holding it here. TO be
sure the expenses will not be great,
but the spirit manifested is highly
praiseworthy.
The several committees who have
the preliminary arrangements in
charge are actively engaged in their
respective fields, and SO far as it is in
their power to make it so the Insti-
tute will be q brilliant success. All
that will be needed to remove all
qaestion is a liberal attendance on
the part of the farmers themselves.
It lies with them. If all who can
will attend, the superintendent will
be encouraged to hold them frequent
ly, to the benefit of the entire farming
community.
1t is sincerely hoped the farmers
will rise to just appreciation of the
opportunity afforded them of learn
ing from experienced men the mos
approved methods of making agricul
tural profitable. Certainly, the in
formation is offered cheap enough
All that is asked is that all who Cal
will attend and bring their familie
with them. Make arrangements il
advance to be present every day
